In the Ohio democratic convention,
last month, Congressman Seney. chair
man or the convention, expressed the
sentiments OF majority of his party,
OH the subject Of civil service foolish
ness when he said: while all demo-
Gratis give the administration a hearty
support, there are many who would
feel better satisfied IL all the republi-
cans remaining in Office were promptly
turned out. and their places filed with
honest and capable democrats. AS to
this feature of the situation the resolves
of this convention ought not to be I'M
certain in meaning or sound. If we
believe that democrats instead Of re-
publicans should assist n democratic
president in administering the govern
ment, let US have the courage of our
convictions. and here and now SO de-
clare. II it be the the civil service re-
form law that keeps republicans in and
democrats out Of the public service, let
us strike boldly and high, and demand
of our party representatives at Wash
ingtOn, in senate and house, to labor
and vote for the immediate and uneon-
ditiOnal repeal of that law"

BOND ELECTION OFF!
The County Commissioners Revoke Their
Former Order,
And Say There Will DO No Bond Election
August 10th.

The comfy commissioners did n wise
thing yesterday in withdrawing the
bond proposition which was to have
been voted on next Wednesday, August
10th. Had this not been done, the
county would have been put to a need
less expense of ut least $500, for the
bonds would not have carried anyway.
Right here in Medicine Lodge there
would not have been 90 votes cast
for the bonds.
The INDEX sounded the key note last
week and since that issue of this paper,
the people have fallen into line and de-
manded that the Chicago, Kansas and
Texas bond proposition be Withdrawn
or voted down. The alleged managers
of that road had wholly failed TO show
that the road had any existence or any
backing. Barber county is tired Of
dealing with paper railroads.
Below is the official order of the board
Of county commissioners:

Curious pension cases occasionally
arise. One VIM. IIedgapeth, an ex-
private in the 42d Indiana volunteers
is now APPLYING for a testimonial of APP
probation from the great and good gov
eminent. Iedgapeth was captured in
1853 and confined as prisoner at An
Jacksonville. After remaining in cap
tiyity five months he enlisted in the
confederate army, he says, to escape
starvation, and so informed his fellow
prisoners, and that at the first opportu-
nifty he would desert, and if possible
make his way back To his old command.
After q short service in the confeder-
ate army he carried out this intention,
and finally reached his old regiment in
which he served until discharged.
Here is an opportunity for those extra
loyal old soldiers to keep Hedgapeth
from getting n cent for he directly aid
ed the rebellion.

Raising Horses or Mules.

1t is often a question to the average far
mer, writes a correspondent of The Breed
er's Gazette, which will be the most profit
able, to breed his mares for horse or mule
colts. Mules generally sell well, are rather
easier to raise, not quite as subject to dis
ease, will stand more rough treatment, and
can be broken to service younger than
horses. They are generally more trouble.
some about the place, being more inclined
to be ''bTeachy," and where the stock is all
kept in the pasture together, as is the case
on many farms, they are more troublesome
on account of a disposition to run down
calves and sheep. They are often more
trouble to break and more liable to kick.
They viii, taken as an average, with the
average farm colts, sell easier and at a
higher price at weaving time. If you have
only average or below average mares, and
you are breeding to the same quality of
horse, l should certainly say take the jack.
As between a scrub colt, which is too often
secured by this kind of mating, l should
certainly prefer TO secure a mule colt, as it
would not only prove more profitable to
SELL but make better animal for use upon
the farm. If you have good mares, well
formed and we'll developed, and can breed
to really good horse, / should certainly
prefer this kind of horse colt to a mule.
So that in determining which to breed for
/ should consider the animal | was breed
ing ss well as the quality of the horse that
1 would secure to mate her with. There Is
more money il mule colts than only aver
age horse colts, but if you are situated so
IS TO breed and secure really good colt
rather above the average-such colts can be
made more profitable than mules.

seeds, have no such power, aud there is
great danger OF losing them altogether If
they are deeply covered. There are plenty
of methodical experiments which show
directly that deep burying is not only nm
necessary, but hurtful to the last degree;
and the same lesson is enforced by the
enormous number of grass seeds that farm
ers are in the habit or sowing upon the
acre of land. Very little figuring is re-
quired to show that q large proportion of
the seeds never come to any good, and the
conclusion lies near at hand that most OF
the missing individuals have been buried
beyond all hope of recovery. There would
be little need of covering grass seeds at all,
If the young plants could but be shielded
from winds at the moment of starting, and
the surface of the ground be kept moist
during the termination of the seeds and
until the young plants were firmly estab
llshed. But in practice it is commonly
necessary to give the seeds a slight cover
ing OF earth, IN order that they may not
become dry and that the young plants
may not have such hold upon the earth
from the beginning that the wind can not
throw them about in every direction and
loosen their connections with the soil.

Food for Dairy Farms.

Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell, an experienced
Scotch dairy farmer, gives some valuable
hints on the feediDg and management of
COWS in the new number of the Highland
Agricultural society's transactions. AS
forsge crop on arabic land he recommends
a mixture of tares, rye and oats. sown at
the rate of two bushels per acre of the first
and one busbel each of the others. One
sowing should be made in autumn and
other sowings later in the season, so as to
give succession of cuttings In connec-
tion with this point it is desirable to men
ton that the only variety of tares which
produces a good bulk, if sown as late as
March or April, is that known as York
taTes. Common spring sorts produce very
little fodder. Mr.. Mcconnell remarks on
the danger Of giving cotton-cake to COWS,
and he does not recommend any oil-cake,
as oil does not produce milk. Bean meal
mixed with ground oats, he says will be
found the best extra food for quantity,
quality and flavor in butter. In opposi-
ton to some other authorities, Mr.. Nc
Connell declares winter dairying to be I'M
profitable. His experience is that the cost
of keeping a COW in milk for The seven
winter months is from two to three times
as much OF that Of keeping the animal for
the five summer months, and the small
extra price realized FOR the milk, he adds is
not anything like in proportion to the cost
of production. He is a strong advocate of
the Scotch practice of heating chaf and
meal with water for COWS and other cattle,
at any rate In winter and giving 1T TO them
as warm mess. Roots are sometimes
added to the mixture, the whole beng
cooked together; but Mr.. Mcconnell is of
opinion that roots cost more than they are
worth as food for COWS.

Countine the Weede.

Professor J. @. Arthur, in his report for
1856 to the New York experiment station,
gives the number OF weeds found upon one
twentieth of an acre during the growing
season. The land was part of an abau-
doned pasture. 1t had been plowed in
1882, and had borne four crops, with an
annual dressing OF commercial fertilizer,
but had received no weed seeds from stable
manure, as no manuring had been given it.
The land on all sides had been in constant
and clean cultivation. The countings were
made in June, July, August and Septem-
Der, the largest weeds being pulled up and
removed each time. The result was 3,701
Individual plants in 1856 aud zoos in
1885, and the entire number of
species both years was over
sixty. This examination shows that the
number OF individual plants was 81, 900 to
the acre To furnish full information, the
botanic name of every species is given.
Nearly all are of plants which are never Of
any use in cultivation, but few are of
useful plants in the wrong place, according
to the definition that a weed is "a plant
growing where it is not wanted" aud not
in accordance with Emerson's definition,
that "a weed is plant whose virtues have
not been discovered" as such eminently
valuable plants as red clover and Indian
corn would be weeds in an onion bed or in
a strawberry plantation.
